Hotel Review of the Hampton Inn Downtown Seattle

Family Location OK but too many rooms for the size of the breakfast area. We
ended up at Denny's. Can be a bit noisy.

We sent 2 days at the Hampton before we left on our cruise. The hotel was very
close to the Space needle, which we walked to each day. The breakfast in the
morning is great along with the afternoon cookies at the front desk. The front
desk will give you a bottle of water if you ask before setting out for the day.
First time we stayed here we were on the 6th floor, which we liked as it was
very quiet. On our return we stayed on the 4th floor and that was near the main
street which was noisy. Free internet was nice, no pool, fitness center is small
but adequate. Grocery store close by which is huge, we purchased beer and
goodies for our room.

Wrote a long review and lost it so here's the shorter version-
great view of Space Needle, great staff, the housekeeping staff even load and
run the dishwasher for you, there's washer dryer rooms, at least one available
on every floor ($1 a wash), free coffee, tea and hot chocolate 24/7 in lobby to
take with you, $100 a night cheaper than the other hotels we liked, great
location for tourists, 6ft bed very comfy, did I mention it was spotlessly
clean? We don't usually leave much of a tip for housekeeping, being Brits and
not used to tipping, but we left some money and beer for our cleaners because we
were so impressed at the standards.
Breakfast always had plenty on offer, agree with others it is pretty sameish but
there is enough on offer to have something different every day of our 6 night
stay.
Even the little fitness centre has one of every cardio machine you'd want on
vacation.
I wouldn't just recommend this to a friend, I'd want to hide in their suitcase
and stay here again.

We stayed at this hotel prior to a Cruise to Alaska out of the port in Seattle.
We checked in farily late, but there were still two staff members working at the
front desk. The ladies were very kind and we had a smooth check in. The hotel
was full, but it was very quiet overnight. The rooms were very comfortable and
clean. The breakfast area was VERY busy in the morning and it seemed impossible
for the staff to keep up with bringing out the food, but the comfort and
location made that seem very unimportant. The hotel was within walking distance
to the space needle and the tram that takes you across town. All in all, I felt
this was a very good value.

Stayed here with family for the July 4th long weekend. Our first visit to
Seattle. I had requested for early check in and when we got there around noon
the room was ready! Room was not very large but clean and served the purpose. No
complaints about location, it is about a mile from downtown and the monorail
ride is an attraction in itself. Lake union, waterfront and of course the needle
are well within walking distance. Front desk was always friendly and helpful,
got us a good deal on return to airport.
The only thing that needs improvement is breakfast. Bread, bagel and muffins
were all rather tasteless. Ditto scrambled eggs. I have stayed at Hampton Inn
JFK airport and they had better stuff. Waffle makers are a nuisance and should
be discontinued. More fresh fruits, better eggs, cheese and some dry fruits will
earn them full 5 stars!

Hotel was clean, nice room, good service. Quite a walk from downtown, such as
Pike Place Market. Close to Space Needle and monorail which is $2 roundtrip to
downtown. Nice residential area nearby, Queen Anne Hill. Make your way to Kerry
Park, great views of the city, but quite a hike up the hills if you do not have
a car, but worth it!

We are on a road trip honey moon...Seattle was our "last must stop" before we
headed back to Cali. We wanted to book a regular room, but ended up with a
suite. Oh my gosh! it was an awesome suite. Full kitchen, huge TV room, TWO NICE
bedrooms and a few blocks from the space needle. The night before we stayed at
the Sheraton...doesn't even compare! Continental breakfast that I am so looking
forward to in th AM. Something the Sheraton doesn't even compare too. Not to
mention they have AAA discount and/or Government, another perk the Sheraton
didn't have...

This hotel was perfect for the trip we planned. The hotel was very clean, the
staff was very helpful and everyone we encountered was very nice. The King suite
room with kitchenette was perfect size with a tv in each room. You could walk to
the Space Needle (which is where you can get the monorail in to down town) and
to many great restaurants. My husband and I felt very comfortable walking around
in the evening to different restaurants. After spending some time in the actual
city area I was thrilled to be back at our hotel. I would recommend this hotel
for anyone, and will stay there again when I go back.

My husband and I usually love the Hampton Inn, so when we were going to Seattle,
my husband booked us at the Hampton Inn and Suites Seattle Downtown. We were
very disappointed. First of all, it is not located in downtown Seattle, but
outside the downtown, right by the Space Needle. The room we were given had a
horrible stale cigarette smell, and you could hear peoples footsteps above your
head. The night manager said only one other room was available, so we swithced.
The new room was adequate. To us, not as nice as other Hampton Inns. The
bathroom and carpet looked tired. The bathroom also was noticeable cold, and
therefore very uncomfortable. We had to pay $15 a night parking, and there was
no room in the garage. Even if there was room, the spaces were so tight you
could barely fit a car in it . We ended up leaving our car in their open lot. We
did a load of laundry, and it took my husband three hours to dry our clothes, as
the dryer wasn't working well. As for location, I would have rather been located
somewhere central in downtown Seattle. I would say that the staff seemed very
nice. If I was coming back to Seattle I would definitely choose a hotel more in
a neighborhood with shopping and restaurants. I was not happy with this Hampton.

Most hotels in any busy downtown areas, especially those near tourist
attractions, tend to be rather expensive. This Hampton Inn just north of the
Seattle Center offers comfortable amenities in a somewhat secluded neighborhood
just a stone's throw away from the attractions of Seattle Center (Space Needle,
Pacific Science Center, Experience Music Project), and a monorail ride to the
Pike Place market without breaking your wallet. Offerings include complimentary
breakfast, wireless Internet, and three small garages for parking. The layout of
the hotel is somewhat confusing, with hallways that twist and turn in seemingly
random directions.
The fitness center consists only of aerobic-exercise equipment (stationary bike,
recumbent bike, treadmill, elliptical). No resistance machines or free-weights
are available. This hotel does not have a pool. Two PCs are available for use in
the main lobby.
Overall, this is a good location away from the hubbub of downtown Seattle, but
still in a location convenient to highway access and some sightseeing. Downtown
is accessible by the Seattle Center monorail, running from Seattle Center to the
Westlake shopping center. |
